01:18:31Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 310 we get better acquainted with CJ and Arlie from The Boy Who Hasn't Lived podcast. The podcast they make is about "one friend forcing the other to read the entire Harry Potter book series for the first time" and after they tell me why they make the show I get into my issues with the Harry Potter books. From there the conversation covers problematic faves, navigating the world, calling out and calling in, dealing with individuals and with systems, looking at the intersections around gender, race and power and how everything is COMPLICATED and that's okay!

His approach to hosting is very different from mine. We go on lots of interesting tangents produced by his crowd sourcing approach to coming up with questions.

01:29:36Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 302 we get better acquainted with Nicole Henriksen. She talks about stripping, making comedy, making theatre, flyering and other forms of work and performance, being vulnerable and open in a world that discourages these qualities, living with anxiety and being a robot in human skin. I also go into some detail about my own journey through understanding my mental health covering self diagnosis, re-understanding self harm and suicidal ideation and struggling to get therapy on the NHS. All of which may make this episode sound pretty heavy, but it's actually full of laughter and fun and was a real joy to record.
Content Note: Sex and Sexuality, Racism and Sexism, Mental Health Issues, Suicidal Thoughts, Self Harm, Self Destruction

01:00:10Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 301 we get better acquainted with Dr Nira Chamberlain. He talks about the history of black mathematicians, his personal journey from being a child told by his careers adviser that he couldn't be a mathematician to getting a PHD in maths and becoming the first black mathematician to be included in the Who's Who, how the women from Hidden Figures could have been his role-models, the real world maths of mathematical modelling and so much more.
I sat down with Nira in a quiet room at University of Greenwich where he was giving a talk. We met each other for the first time at a Spark London fundraiser for the Steve Sinnott Foundation.

01:31:14Getting Better AcquaintednoTo celebrate the 300th episode of GBA I'm putting out a season of 3 special episodes, which continues with today's conversation. In many ways this feels like a regular GBA episode and is a good example for new listeners of what the show is usually like. It's also a conversation with someone who it's taken 299 episodes to persuade to come on as a guest.
Part of the motivation for that is encourage people to donate to Refuaid which you can do here:

In GBA 300 we get better acquainted with Matt. We talk about forming a theatre company together as students, 16 years of friendship, the different collaborations we have had over the years, who is actually the hardest working person in UK podcasting, the different interests and experiences that have led to him becoming a major force in British podcasting and how experiencing and healing from a spinal injury caused by a carcrash has influenced his outlook on the world. This episode also features a cameo from previous guest (and Matt's wife) Louise and contains the moment I met their child for the first time!

01:32:00Getting Better AcquaintednoTo celebrate the 300th episode of GBA I'm putting out a season of 3 special episodes, starting with today's Episode 1 Revisited which is in some ways a conversation between two different versions of me, the 2011 Dave and the 2017 Dave. This episode contains the original audio from Episode 1 with a new commentary and reflection on that material. Episode 1 focused on introducing me, featuring audio pieces and performances. It contains the first two true stories that I ever told at Spark London. I found listening back to the past version of me a difficult thing to do and doing so inspired lots of different emotions in me.
Content note: Mental Health Issues, violence against children, sex and sexuality, toxic masculinity and Christmas.
The 300th season will continue on Wednesday with GBA 300. In that episode a friend who has resisted being a guest for 299 episodes finally comes on the show, and it will finish on Friday with a special musical GBA Extra.

01:06:52Getting Better AcquaintednoIn part 2 of this two part GBA special we join my 93 year old dad on the second day of a two day trip to some of the places where he grew up. My dad had wanted to take this trip for a while and me and my little sister (technically my half sister) managed to arrange to take him in February 2017. My 12 year old niece is the last member of the team on this roadtrip adventure. In this episode we visit the Bristol Museum, Bristol Zoo and The Downs. My dad learns why he was attracted to the Museum as a child and how much the city has transformed since he moved through it as a little boy, and bumps into a Gorilla that he used to know. It also includes an interesting moment involving an icecream van, a lack of appropriate ice-cream options for a 12 year old with very specific ice-cream tastes and a spontaneous outburst of Italian. Day 2 of the journey takes us through time, space, memory, dementia, old age, love, family and the ways places and people change.
Next week will feature more podcast episodes than usual as I release some audio pieces that celebrate Getting Better Acquainted hitting 300 episodes.

My dad had wanted to take this trip for a while and me and my little sister (technically my half sister) managed to arrange to take him in February 2017. My 12 year old niece is the last member of the team on this roadtrip adventure. In this episode we travel from London to my dad's childhood home in Sea Mills which is now a suburb of Bristol. Day 1 of the journey takes us through time, space, memory, lost branches of the family tree, dementia and old age and the ways places and people change.

01:11:25Getting Better AcquaintednoGBA 285 is a special episode of Getting Better Acquainted. It's two parts monologue and one part interview as my dad tells the story of two road trips he made across America in 1969 to film in American coal mines on behalf of the British Coal Board. We get better acquainted with him and the places and people he met. This is an edited version of some recordings I made with him before GBA had even started, so it doesn't fit the usual format.
It all feels like an slightly absurd and possibly a touch melancholic comedy, perhaps directed by The Cohen Brothers or Wes Anderson, and one day I hope to make a film or book about it.
You can get even better acquainted with my dad by listening to the episodes he has been on previously: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-dad-episodes

01:16:32Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 283 we get better acquainted with Dr Cathy Elliott. We talk about changing your mind, being aware of your emotions, The Radical Ordinary, Temporal Othering, storytelling, her book Democracy Promotion as Foreign Policy, whiteness, creativity and so much more. We also spend quite a bit of time deconstructing our experiences of me performing my show about masculinity to her students and how we felt about meeting two Men's Rights Activists who came along and dominated the Q and A session after the show.

01:50:31Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 281 we get even better acquainted with Radcliffe. He talks about being in a coma, continuing battles with addiction, the double edged swords of being attractive and charming, storytelling, class, belief and so much more. We recontextualize his journey through addiction, prison, homelessness and public school and we talk about the pressures, ironies and positives that can come in telling audiences true stories of redemption. We talk about many dark things such as child sexual abuse, rape, violence but we talk about the light too.
This conversation is both an update where we talk about things that have happened since Radcliffe was last on the show and an extension and development of the stories we have shared before.
All of Radcliffe's GBA conversations are collected here: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-radcliffe-episodes

01:28:15Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 279 we get even better acquainted with Liz. We explore what has happened to her since the last time she was on the show and how the ways in which we know each other have changed since then, including working on Stand Up Tragedy together and her journey into academia and teaching. We also talk about Star Trek, myths, social policy and bereavement.
An extra plug from Liz (which I have failed to add into the episode but which I will add to the audio in the future) was for the David T Bailey scholarship fund: http://bailey.history.msu.edu/

01:39:14Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 278 we get even better acquainted with my dad. We sit down to talk about his working life making documentary films about the coal mining industry and the communities who provided it their labour, and we do touch on that frequently, but we also end up talking about lots and lots of other things. Threading through the conversation are the changes, both physical and mental, that have happened to my dad over the last few years. He's currently 92 so the underlying themes of the conversation are memory, age and death.

This conversation was recorded in a busy cafe on Zack's birthday, in a world where Donald Trump was not yet President Elect.

01:21:18Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 276 we get better acquainted with Rob Auton. He talks about finding words, what driving lessons taught him about art, what exactly it is that he does, trying to find the right balance of confidence and worry, and so much more. As I try to fit him into boxes like introvert, depression and wizard, he nimbly avoids all the labels and reaches instead for the specifics and universals of this strange experience we call being human.

He talks about finding words, what driving lessons taught him about art, what exactly it is that he does, trying to find the right balance of confidence and worry, and so much more. As I try to fit him into boxes like introvert, depression and wizard, he nimbly avoids all the labels and reaches instead for the specifics and universals of this strange experience we call being human.

02:03:00Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 272 we get even better acquainted with Paul. After his first appearance on the show Paul wanted to return when he felt more himself to do a second conversation. We met up and walked and talked along the South Bank in the rain, covering mental health issues, masculinity, art, copyright, podcasts, ASMR, cultural appropriation, why people are like sliced bread, how facebook memories remind you regularly that your past self was a dick and lots of other stuff. It's a longer podcast than normal, partly because Paul is a fan of longform podcasts and partly because it was a conversation that flowed really well and so cutting bits out would have made it less coherent.

We met up and walked and talked along the South Bank in the rain, covering mental health issues, masculinity, art, copyright, podcasts, ASMR, cultural appropriation, why people are like sliced bread, how facebook memories remind you regularly that your past self was a dick and lots of other stuff. It's a longer podcast than normal, partly because Paul is a fan of longform podcasts and partly because it was a conversation that flowed really well and so cutting bits out would have made it less coherent.

We met for the first time about an hour before I turned the mic on after being introduced by a mutual friend via email. Ben had heard my show about masculinity and was interested in talking about some areas in and around it and we were also meeting because he is gearing up to make his own podcast using Binaural microphones. But everything else was discovery. We started talking in a quiet cafe/bar in New Cross which becomes louder by the end of the episode. We're both thinking out new thoughts influenced by personal events and national news and the cafe music provides a nice sound bed (although it means the episode is a little less edited than some).

01:15:49Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 264 we get better acquainted with Jen. We talk about the things she wants to have done before turning 30, the process of working on yourself, the value of sharing true stories and attempting to live authentically and so much more. Despite working together as part of the Spark London team we had never really sat down and had a face to face conversation and we dive straight in with the big questions. Jen is a brilliant and active listener with a history of interviewing/documenting people and so I end up talking a lot!

We recorded this conversation at the Audible studios in London during the recording of her new audio sitcom Slaving Away which is a comedy about a cheerful and happy-go-lucky single girl who just happens to be a dominatrix that will be hitting your earways this August. We talk about making comedy about sex work and sex worker rights, why it took a while for her to realise she could fit into the world of stand-up comedy, not making fat people and sex workers into punchlines and lots more.
We also talk about her show Coin Operated Girl which is back again at this year's PBH Free Fringe: https://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/event/602895-the-coin-operated-girl/

I talk to her about sex, anonymity, blogging, masculinity, porn, feminism, anxiety and more. She discusses why she started sex blogging, the realities of your blog becoming your job, how her politics and feelings around sex, sexuality and gender have changed and expanded as a result of talking sex online, and how laws around porn and internet regulation would effect her ability to do what she does.

We talk about race, religion, podcasts, comics, questions and how sharing true stories can bring people together. The conversation ranges from Ecclesiastes to The Incredible Hulk, from Aesop's Fables to personal recollections, as we investigate stories, communication and shapeshifting.

He describes a life spent with sound, from free parties, to roadying, to speech radio, to music; from hiding with the music equipment at school to listening to his voice in an Anechoic Chamber.

We struggle through a little bit of social awkwardness to get into a great conversation about acting, writing, performance, identity, race and sex. The conversation grapples with perception, the self, image, shame and the body which makes it sound a bit worthy and pretentious which it very much is not!

01:05:42Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 239 we get better acquainted with Njambi McGrath. She talks about how the sudden death of her father forced her to confront a past she'd left behind and begin a journey of discovery into personal and cultural history she knew little about. We talk about making comedy out of dark topics, the effects of colonialism on the continent of Africa (particularly on Kenya where Njambi is from) and how the west views and distorts the lives of people from African countries.
Njambi will be previewing her new show in a double bill with my solo show at Stand Up Tragedy Presents on Feb 18th at the Dogstar Brixton: Stand Up Tragedy Presents on 18th Feb: http://www.facebook.com/events/1129825877029165/

01:05:13Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 238 we get even better acquainted with Sarah. She returns to the show to talk about being a pianist, performer, inventor and mum. We cover the process of composing an album made with a recreated and adapted piano and her new theatre about the experience of being a mother. It's a conversation of two parts, recorded in two different locations and two different times. Part of the original is lost and so it's partly a conversation about a lost conversation.

01:11:15Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 234 we get better acquainted with Christmas (again). It's the 2015 Christmas Special!
This episode is a series of different Christmas presents, although not all of them are filled with comfort and joy.
It starts with a carol.
Then I share with you a short story that I wrote a few years ago called "Bringing Things Up". It's kind of a detective story, kind of a ghost story, and it is certainly the bleakest part of this episode as well as being the biggest part of the episode. I've adapted it as an audio piece and spent some time creating sound design that aims to immerse you in the narrative.
Next we have a recording from a long time ago when audio was recorded onto cassette tapes. It's my dad reading The Fir Tree by Tove Jansson which gives us some warm and fuzzies to offset my story.
The episode ends with a Christmas song I wrote a few years back called "Time to be Nice" Here it is in video form: http://youtu.be/UiPXNO7WJAQ
This is my other Christmas song in video form: Ghosts of... http://youtu.be/XqCKfOwA9vE
Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!
(There will be no GBA for the next 2 weeks. It will return in the 1st week of January 2016.)

01:39:59Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 226 we get better acquainted with Cheryl. She tells the story of when as a result of misunderstandings and other circumstantial issues she was taken from her home by the police and put into a mental institution against her will. This experience changed her understanding of the human rights afforded to people with mental health issues and her knowledge of what mental health services can be like. This traumatic experience inspired her to become an anti-psychiatry activist. We have a conversation around her story about our different perspectives on mental health but mostly the episode focuses on the details of her experience which are terrifying, vivid and often horribly darkly funny.

In GBA 226 we get better acquainted with Cheryl. …In GBA 226 we get better acquainted with Cheryl. She tells the story of when as a result of misunderstandings and other circumstantial issues she was taken from her home by the police and put into a mental institution against her will. This experience changed her understanding of the human rights afforded to people with mental health issues and her knowledge of what mental health services can be like. This traumatic experience inspired her to become an anti-psychiatry activist. We have a conversation around her story about our different perspectives on mental health but mostly the episode focuses on the details of her experience which are terrifying, vivid and often horribly darkly funny.

00:56:57Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 221 we get better acquainted with Mathilda. She talks about #HowToBeFat, writing werewolf erotica, comedy, writing, performance, parenthood, slash fiction and more. We recorded the conversation in Edinburgh during the Fringe where both of us were doing solo shows that (in different ways) talk about taboo subjects, shame, identity, stigma, privilege and social pressure. We compare notes on doing shows that people might describe as brave.

01:13:12Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 219 we get better acquainted with Anna Sulan Masing. She talks about how food, performance and post colonial feminism are bound up together in her in her life and work, discusses cultural practice and appropriation and considers her feelings and thoughts around identity, race, gender and home. We also discuss her new play "Don't sing in the kitchen or you'll marry an old man", my solo show "What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity" and the survey I did of 1000 anonymous men.

She talks about how food, performance and post colonial feminism are bound up together in her in her life and work, discusses cultural practice and appropriation and considers her feelings and thoughts around identity, race, gender and home. We also discuss her new play "Don't sing in the kitchen or you'll marry an old man", my solo show "What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity" and the survey I did of 1000 anonymous men.

He talks about dealing with the death of both his parents at a young age and how that, and the lives and values his parents had, has shaped his own life and world view. It's a conversation about bereavement, life, mental health and perspectives but most of all it's a conversation about stories, about the narratives and fictions we create and refine.

Content Note: This episode deals with mental health issues and therapy. The conversation also covers issues around child abuse and sexual abuse, although it doesn't contain graphic descriptions of either. It also contains plenty of love, warmth and laughter

She talks about so many things both personal and political; sex, depression, therapy, age, forgiveness, family, performing, community, discrimination, news, songwriting and speaking words are just a few of the topics and tangents we cover.
Content Note: This episode deals with mental health issues and therapy. The conversation also covers issues around child abuse and sexual abuse, although it doesn't contain graphic descriptions of either. It also contains plenty of love, warmth and laughter

01:26:12Getting Better AcquaintednoThis is GBA 200 pt 5 with guest host Charley Harrison.
The #GBA200 season will celebrate 200 episodes of Getting Better Acquainted with a week of daily episodes where the script is switched and the people I know interview me. It's taking place from the 16th-20th of March. The guest hosts are Helen Zaltzman, Chella Quint, Sophia Walker and James McKay, Jen Adamthwaite and Charley Harrison. During this week we'll learn what Getting Better Acquainted might be like if it was made by someone else, and whether I'm a consistent character or not; we'll explore and celebrate how combinations of people and places create wildly different conversations.
I'll also be re-sharing and discussing the first 200 episodes of GBA on the show's twitter feed, using the hashtag #GBA200. If you want to join in the celebrations by sharing your favourite episodes, you would be very welcome to do so!

The #GBA200 season will celebrate 200 episodes of Getting Better Acquainted with a week of daily episodes where the script is switched and the people I know interview me. It's taking place from the 16th-20th of March. The guest hosts are Helen Zaltzman, Chella Quint, Sophia Walker and James McKay, Jen Adamthwaite and Charley Harrison. During this week we'll learn what Getting Better Acquainted might be like if it was made by someone else, and whether I'm a consistent character or not; we'll explore and celebrate how combinations of people and places create wildly different conversations.
I'll also be re-sharing and discussing the first 200 episodes of GBA on the show's twitter feed, using the hashtag #GBA200. If you want to join in the celebrations by sharing your favourite episodes, you would be very welcome to do so!

She talks about making comedy, being a sign language interpreter, the politics of marriage, honeymooning in lapland, grief and bereavement, spreading eccentric joy, feminism, being an identical twin and so much more.

01:40:43Getting Better AcquaintednoIn this Getting Better Acquainted Extra I follow up last year's Uncertain New Year episode with a round up of how 2014 actually panned out for me, mixed in with some true stories that I told told at Risk!, Spark London and Stand Up Tragedy. It's a bumper sized episode but it's much shorter than the year it sums up.
The true stories and reflections cover some dark times both from this year and from my past (content note for anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, bullying, body image) as well as plenty of fun and positive times from both this year and from my past. There's also music, reflection, sex clubs, a cameo from Stewart Lee* and quite a lot of me talking.
Next week normal service will resume and GBA will be back yo it's in conversation format.
* Stewart Lee does not literally appear in this episode.

01:29:34Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 190 we get better acquainted with Christmas (again). It's the 2014 Christmas Special and this time we focus more on the complicated than the uplifting. The majority of the episode is a conversation between me and my friend Nina, two people with a complicated relationship with Christmas swapping our war stories. Also so featured in the episode is a story of recent Christmas joy from Connor and a song from Martin Austwick. The episode also contains my father's voice speaking to his granddaughter in the past and providing some Tove Jannson style Christmas spirit.
This episode hopes to offer solidarity to the seasonally afflicted and an explanation to those who love Christmas for why many of us might not. It does touch on upsetting family dynamics and mental health issues, including specific reference to traumatic events, depression and violence against children but in an actually pretty light and seasonal way.
For other GBA flavours of Christmas see the past 3 Christmas Specials:

01:05:18Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 189 we get better acquainted with Heather. She talks about how faith and theatre has influenced her passion for working with young people and in getting involved with LGBT rights, her methodist upbringing and personal relationship with God, the experience of being pregnant and how she first knew me as "Pajama Boy".
Heather Plugs: Speaking up for other people's rights.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

She talks about connecting with people, about the crack in everything that lets the light get in, about rootlessness, relationships, family, love, death and pain.

Content Note: The conversation is warm but it covers dark and difficult subjects including suicide, bereavement and experiences of mental health issues and traumas.

01:01:48Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 182 we get better acquainted with Reni Eddo-Lodge. She talks about coming to mainstream journalism via activism and blogging, analyzing how power works, how the both the left and the media are held back by viewing everything through the lens of middle class white men, the "Great Intersectionality Wars" of 2012, black feminism, cultural capital, critical race theory and more. If that makes the conversation sound academic and dry then let me assure you it really isn't. The conversation takes place in a busy cafe in Hackney, Reni is battling the end of an illness, I am battling my privilege based ignorance, but despite that we manage to have a great conversation about race, class, gender and the media.

It's another episode I feel uncomfortable about putting out. Which has been a feature of this 3 week season.

01:08:30Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 156 pt 2 we get even better acquainted with my partner, Jen. We talk about how our 13 year relationship works, exploring the domestic compromises and tensions, arguments and conflicts, friendship and love, that come from living with someone and sharing a life together. We also cover the experience of living with (and living with someone who lives with) mental health issues. We push at the boundaries of openness and honesty in a conversation that is full of quiet revelations. Whether you know us well or know nothing about us, by the end of this conversation you will be intimately acquainted with who we are and how we fit together.
This conversation picks up where Part 1 left off and I recommend listening to that episode first: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-156-jen-2-pt-1
This is the forth episode of a 3 week "Personal Season".
On next wednesday (16th) the season will be rounded up with an episode collecting together true stories and personal songs that I've told and recorded over the last 2 years.
Jen Plugs:
Openness and honesty.

We talk about how our 13 year relationship works, exploring the domestic compromises and tensions, arguments and conflicts, friendship and love, that come from living with someone and sharing a life together. We also cover the experience of living with (and living with someone who lives with) mental health issues. We push at the boundaries of openness and honesty in a conversation that is full of quiet revelations. Whether you know us well or know nothing about us, by the end of this conversation you will be intimately acquainted with who we are and how we fit together.
This conversation picks up where Part 1 left off and I recommend listening to that episode first: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-156-jen-2-pt-1
This is the forth episode of a 3 week "Personal Season".
On next wednesday (16th) the season will be rounded up with an episode collecting together true stories and personal songs that I've told and recorded over the last 2 years.
Jen Plugs:
Openness and honesty.

01:00:00Getting Better AcquaintednoIn GBA 156 pt 1 we get even better acquainted with my partner, Jen. We talk about how she feels being presented and represented on the podcast, introverts, ambiverts and extroverts, the way her memory works, the different distinctive smells of books, refining the mind and body, how we interact and intersect with each other as a couple and whether consciousness is an evolutionary disadvantage.
Also I propose to her live on mic.
This is the third episode of a 3 week "Personal Season".
The second (and arguably even more personal) half of this conversation will come out on Friday (11), and on next wednesday (16th) the season will be rounded up with an episode collecting together true stories and personal songs that I've told and recorded over the last 2 years.
Jen Plugs:
Nothing in this half of the conversation, her plug will come at the end of Friday's episode.
